Faarfannaa 61

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan miʼa ribuutiin faarfatame. Yaa Waaqi, iyyata koo dhagaʼi; kadhannaa koos dhaggeeffadhu.

To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

2 Yeroo garaan koo citetti, ani handaara lafaatii sin waammadha; ati gara kattaa na caalaa ol dheeratuutti na geessi.

From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

3 Ati iddoo ani itti kooluu galuudhaatii; fuula diina koo durattis gamoo jabaa dha.

For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

4 Ani bara baraan dunkaana kee keessa jiraachuu, gaaddisa qoochoo keetii jalattis kooluu galuu nan hawwa.

I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Yaa Waaqi, ati wareega koo dhageesseertaatii; dhaala warri maqaa kee sodaatan argatanis naa kenniteerta.

For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

6 Bara jireenya mootii, umurii isaa illee dhalootaa gara dhalootaatti dheeressi.

Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

7 Innis fuula Waaqaa duratti bara baraan haa moʼu; akka jaalalli keetii fi amanamummaan kee isa eeganis godhi.

Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

8 Anis faarfannaa galataa maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha; guyyuma guyyaanis wareega koo nan guuttadha.

So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.
